Will she lose it... updates from the large

Well, it is a new year. In 2007, I actually had to work on gaining weight since I was a the nadir of my weightloss. After my plastics in December 2006, I reached an all time low of 124 pounds and felt and looked way too small. While I momentarily flirted in my mind with a how low can I go idea, I came quickly to realization that if I wanted to heal from the ps I needed to get some calories in. So, last January I was really eating. I also took a med from my ob-gyn that put 12 pound on me in about 10 days. I have spent most of 2007 in the mid 130s. It is only in the last quarter of 2007, that I got up to and stayed in and over 140 pounds. How I was scared and slightly ashamed to admit the regain.

2008 has started with me going back to my protein roots. I mostly trying to slice the crazy amount of useless carbs out of my diet. They crowd out protein and they give a whole lot of extra calories. Also, how many times have I preached about water. Lately, I have been slack. Since summer, I picked up a nice little habit of a sweet tea. I have sworn it off to rid myself of a few pounds. I started 2008 at a bloated 146, I am back on a straighter and narrower nutritional path until I am back in the 133-135 range. Not 140+ pounds to lose this time.

I am encouraged by my efforts this week as this morning the scale said 142. I think if I can fit in some more movement and water, I am likely to be at 140 on Tuesday (weigh in day). I am going to work on getting my 2.5 year labs this week. I think my iron might be looking good because of a new supplement. If it works, I will be sure to share.

For those who are new, yes the weight loss will eventually stop but you do not gain like before but you must be every vigilant to keep the pounds away.
